Played at Leeds, on Saturday, 01/04/1882, over 12 boards, 2 games per board.
This was the return match to one where Leeds travelled to Hull in June 1881. On that latter occasion Leeds won by 15½-13½. The Chess Player’s Chronicle, 1882, p.175, quoted the results as given in the Glasgow Herald, as follows:
As ever with this style of reporting results, there seems no way of knowing whether 1-1 means a win a-piece, or two draws.
The lack of initials makes it difficult to identify all the players. Player’s identities inferred by present writer, were possible, are as follows.
